Overview Valtech Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo) has released a new feature that integrates its 'MOT/TEL' cloud telephony service with wearable camera terminals. This update allows the camera to notify a pre-assigned extension on the cloud phone and, upon answering, immediately stream the terminal's real-time video feed. This new functionality enables rapid situational awareness and response during emergencies in field operations such as construction, security, facility maintenance, and caregiving. *Note: This feature does not transmit terminal location data; it solely shares the camera feed.

Background In recent years, the importance of safety management for lone workers and those in remote locations has been increasing. In industries like construction, infrastructure maintenance, and security, workers often operate alone, making immediate communication and situational awareness during accidents or sudden health issues a significant challenge. Building on its existing service that links wearable cameras with cloud telephony, the company developed this functionality to meet the need for rapid, simple, and accurate emergency reporting. Users can now trigger an SOS and allow administrators to verify the situation with a single dedicated button on the device. *Requires the 'Monitoring Option' for MOT Wearable Cameras.

Key Features 1. Real-time SOS Signal Display: When the emergency button on the wearable camera is pressed, an alert is instantly received on the MOT/Phone screen. 2. Video Integration: Upon receiving an SOS, administrators can view the live feed from the camera, allowing for quick assessment and decisive instructions. 3. Broad Industry Application: Ideal for construction, facility maintenance, security, caregiving, welfare, and manufacturing industries where safety management is paramount. The camera also supports intercom communication, enabling administrators to share information with multiple personnel simultaneously and coordinate rescue efforts efficiently. It is highly effective for remote monitoring and remote site presence.

Benefits of Adoption 1. Significant Reduction in Initial Response Time: Traditionally, emergency communication suffered from issues like unanswered calls or delays in discovery. Rapid initial response is crucial for reducing corporate risk. 2. Improved Decision Accuracy through Visualization: By integrating instant connection with visual verification, administrators can grasp the 'current state' of the site immediately. 3. Reduction in Lone Worker Risks: The constant availability of the SOS feature boosts psychological peace of mind, helps maintain focus, and contributes to reducing turnover rates.

Target Industry Scenarios - Construction: Immediate grasp of falls or heavy machinery accidents to prevent secondary disasters. - Facility Maintenance: Instant notification in isolated environments like underground facilities to facilitate team dispatch. - Security: Evidence preservation and rapid coordination of backup personnel during trouble or interactions with suspicious individuals. - Caregiving: Instant contact with administrators during sudden changes in a user's condition to decide on medical or family engagement. - Manufacturing: Immediate notification of critical accidents to expedite line shutdown decisions.
